The Basis Of Morality

The Basis of Morality is a philosophical work written by Annie Besant, an English theosophist, in which she examines the nature and foundation of morality. The book is divided into two parts: the first part deals with the concept of morality itself, its definition, and its relation to human nature and society. Besant argues that morality is not just a set of rules or commands imposed by external authority, but rather a natural expression of the human spirit, rooted in the fundamental principles of human existence.The second part of the book explores the different theories of morality that have been proposed throughout history, from the ancient Greeks to modern thinkers. Besant examines the strengths and weaknesses of each theory, and ultimately concludes that a truly moral system must be based on the principles of love, compassion, and respect for all living beings.Throughout the book, Besant draws on her knowledge of Eastern and Western philosophy, religion, and science to create a comprehensive and thought-provoking analysis of the nature of morality. The Basis of Morality is a timeless work that continues to be relevant today, offering readers a deeper understanding of the ethical principles that guide human behavior.THIS 50 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Essays By Wadia and Others, by Annie Besant.
